While JDBC is a powerful, low level API for accessing and manipulating a myriad of SQL databases 1 , it is so low level that it requires: Writing verbose finally blocks to close database connections Writing catch blocks for all checked exceptions, even if they can't be reasonably recovered... http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/onjava/excerpt/javaentnut_2/index3.html Related Reading Java Enterprise in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition By David Flanagan , Jim Farley , William Crawford Table of Contents Index Sample Chapter Read Online--Safari Editor's note: In part three of this four-part excerpt on JDBC from Java Enterprise in a Nutshell , learn about error handling, prepared statements, BLOBs and CLOBs.

The latest versions of J2EE and Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) include support for release 3.0 of the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) specification, which defines how Java applications communicate with relational database products.

With the move to XML-based services, developers often find themselves converting various data structures to and from XML. Arguably, the most prevalent form of persisting data is in relational databases. How does one go about converting relational data structures into XML? In this article, we'll do just that and build a utility to expose... http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/onjava/excerpt/javaentnut_2/index2.html Related Reading Java Enterprise in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition By David Flanagan , Jim Farley , William Crawford Table of Contents Index Sample Chapter Read Online--Safari by William Crawford Editor's Note: This is Part Two of a book excerpt from Java Enterprise in a Nutshell .

In last month's article, "Dynamic Database Access from Client-side JavaScript" , we looked at an architecture for utilizing the services of an applet-servlet pair to provide dynamic... http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/onjava/2002/04/10/jdbc.html by Donald Bales , author of Java Programming with Oracle JDBC 04/24/2002 There's been a lot of hype lately about Java Data Objects (JDO). It appears to be the new silver bullet that will alleviate all of our coding drudgery. JDO threatens the livelihood of products such as object/relational mapping utilities that map Java objects to relational data. Because of this, and for other reasons, JDO has received more than its fair share of bad press. To be fair however, JDO does have it... http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2002_07/magazine/features/djordan/ July 2002 Issue ADVERTISEMENT J ava developers use serialization, JDBC, or EJB Container Managed Persistence (CMP) for the persistence of the data in their programs, but each of these commonly used persistence mechanisms has some drawbacks (see sidebar " Limitations of Current Persistence Mechanisms "). Now, however, the Java Data Objects (JDO) API defined in the Java Community Process (JCP) provides transparent persistence of Java object models in transactional datastores (see sidebar... http://www.fawcette.com/vsm/2004_04/magazine/columns/databasedesign/ Posted February 6, 2004 Technology Toolbox: SQL Server 2000, ADO.NET, Java, JDBC Note: This article is excerpted from Chapter 7, "Creating a Shared Database," of Microsoft .NET and J2EE Interoperability Toolkit [Microsoft Press, 2003, ISBN: 0735619220].

It illustrates a number of important techniques, such as how to handle connections, rows, and columns.

An important specification dealing with adding scripting language support to Java also was proposed during JavaOne. Further, the executive committee for J2ME overturned the earlier rejection ballot for updating the J2ME core specifications with Java 1.4 support. New JSR's Two new JSR's were submitted for approval to the JCP. The first deals with a new API adding... http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Java/Using-CSV-Files-as-Databases-and-Interacting-with-Them-Using-Java/ ( Page 1 of 3 ) In this article, we ll show the reader how to use a simple CSV (comma-separated values) file as a simplistic database setup. We will leverage the JDBC-ODBC to interact with a CSV file, reading and writing to it with SQL. Such a technique can be particularly useful for someone trying to write simple database code, but not able to because a local database instance is not pragmatic.

The most common solution is to program directly to the JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) APIs. The result is hard-to-read source files, bloated with complex code that has nothing to do with business logic. To make matters worse, JDBC does nothing to address the natural differences that usually exist between a system's object model and its relational data model.... http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/onjava/2002/02/06/jdo1.html 02/06/2002 In a past article on XML Databinding , I showed how you could work with Java objects and have them persist as XML files. In this article, I'll discuss Sun's Java Data Objects (JDO) standard. JDO allows you to persist Java objects, supporting transactions and multiple users. It differs from JDBC in that you don't have to think about SQL and "all that database stuff." It differs from serialization as it allows multiple users and transactions. This standard allows Java... http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/onjava/2002/07/24/jboss_stack.html by Andreas Schaefer 07/24/2002 A year ago, I wrote an article about JBoss 2.x for the 2001 O'Reilly Open Source Conference. There, I showed how JBoss enables you to create a new DataSource without bouncing the server -- just through the HTML management front-end. The only drawback was that you had to load the JDBC driver when the JBoss server was started. In JBoss 3, this is history; you can deploy and undeploy libraries at runtime, including the classes they contain. For example,... http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2003_05/magazine/features/pvarhol/ May 2003 Issue A pplication development tools have spent the last several years maturing and building up compliance with successive versions of Java Development Kits (JDKs); Java standard and enterprise edition toolkits; and supporting technologies such as JavaServer Pages (JSPs), Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), Java API for XML (JAX), JDBC, and a host of others.
